Eddie Jacobson, a Jewish haberdashery salesman, and Harry Truman
initially bonded during World War I where the Missouri men were put in
charge of a struggling army canteen. The success of that venture leads
to their joining forces after the war to open a haberdashery store in
Kansas City, MO. When the depression hit and their store failed, Harry
went into politics and Eddie went back on the road as a traveling
salesman. In 1948, as the Zionists were struggling to convince
President Truman to support the United Nation's recognition of Israel,
Eddie was asked to push their unlikely friendship to the breaking point.
